Abstract excerpt
The development of colorectal neoplasms proceeds mainly via the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. BRAF and RASSF1A are members of Ras-signaling pathways, but the roles of their aberrations in colorectal carcinogenesis remain unclear. The authors studied mutations of the BRAF and K-ras genes, RASSF1A promoter methylation, and p53 overexpression in 43 polypoid-type and 30 flat-type early-stage colorectal cancers. No...
